That attack is always so PERFECTLY synced with the music part that starts then and I love it.

This is so good !

[@SkarProductions]

Cheers man! Let's do one together sometime!

[@dharmaster]

@@SkarProductions Skar and Husky teaming up? I don't think the world is ready for what they would unleash together.

[@Huskybythegeek]

@@SkarProductions Absolutely ! 6.1 will bring lots of new music, that'll be the perfect opportunity to team up !

[@TroyandKat]

God yes a team-up between you 2 would be stellar

[@ChrisChronos]

Help, I've been rushed to the hospital for headbanging too hard! \m/

[@SkarProductions]

At least your hair didn't get caught in anything x)

[@Baal93Ash]

FOK It's too damn PERFECT !!

[@Wrandrall17]

I'm a simple man. I see FFXIV, I click, instantly like and start headbanging. So glad to see you doing FFXIV content. I'm looking forward for more ! :)

[@johnnythunderpants3964]

1:25 to around two minutes was amazing. Never heard this song before, but it slaps

[@odyk708]

Oh my Have you never tried the expanded Free Trial of our critically acclaimed MMORPG #FFXIV? You can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for FREE with no restrictions on playtime! 😲

[@cnkclark]

It has lyrics, too! Every step we take Echoes in our wake Winding 'round our fate To forge ahead Should we lose our way Tire of all this pain We won't be afraid To forge ahead

[@danieloliveira8958]

Omg... You turned something that was already perfect into something more perfect

[@MoiraiCWingus]

Now you have me looking forward to Endwalker even more, good sir

[@SkarProductions]

Endwalker is god damn amazing!

[@deej8612]

1:25 is the moment every player knows this track should have been the Main Boss Theme. Bro you knocked it out of the park.

[@crazeh8]

Soken went ham on this one, such killer riffs. And you crushed it, great cover!

[@Karmantix]

This manages to sound different from other covers while still being recognizable and completely amazing. Well done!

[@Lin117]

Badly need to hear you do a cover of dungeon endboss theme.

[@never5930]

Easily the best EW cover ive ever listened to. Period

[@zerothian6622]

This shit honestly might be my favourite metal cover of anything ever. It absolutely fucks. You're always excellent at making a real effort on a new arrangement, but this one and the Endsinger one are honestly next level. That opening riff gets me so pumped every single time I hear it. Amazing work, mate :D

[@fenrisharel]

If I ever need a boss theme for my character, this is whom I want making it

[@MegaSpurv]

I have not heard this one 10+ times in a row - I swear! It just hits that spot where my head can't control itself and my fingers starts forming the horns!

[@QuietTokes]

WARRIORS OF LIGHT, ASSEMBLE YOUR FORCES! This cover is, EPIC. Nothing else to describe a cover in which from the beginning hits so directly. May you all be victorious on your quests, and may your drops be plentiful!

[@SnthwaveSunset]

I can really feel the blade's edge with this one

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Awesome job bro! BTW original track is by Takafumi Imamura. Although Soken composed the original EW melody. Many people are working with Soken on FFXIV OST. It's amazing!

[@kubasliwa204]

Your music always has such a clean, crisp sound to it. Perfect mixing in my eyes (or ears?), I fucking love it

[@laima2625]

👌👍🤘💙💛

[@Emberdweller]

Never heard the original, but this is way too epic. Goosebumps the moment I heard it on your stream! This will be a regular listen 4 sure

[@galileach2189]

This is amazing, it makes me sad to think there are people who don't know this

[@Dubbel12]

I started FFXIV about a week ago. MMOs rarely keep me interested, but Ive been playing FFXIV daily. Really, really good.

[@GearheadGeisha]

And like a fine wine, it by and large keeps getting better and better!

[@drunkendevil]

You’re in for a treat. Have fun. 🖤

[@Dubbel12]

@@drunkendevil I wont lie... Realm Reborn has been incredibly boring. But I heard the real meat comes from the other add-ons so Ill just power through

[@GearheadGeisha]

@@Dubbel12 It can drone on a bit depending on perspective but it does set up a lot that pays off later on! It's well worth it!

[@Kasaaz]

I love the cover, but also was surprised at the production quality on the video itself too. A man of many talents.

[@faret123]

Hell yeah! More FFXIV, we need mooooaaaaaaar..! So goooood~

[@camillegrinnaux879]

Holy hell I'm so glad I found this channel \m/

[@aaronnaves4968]

its the wink at the end for me

[@joao_oak]

It's always satisfying to listen to your covers. The entire musical production is freaking awesome! 🔥

[@nordoceltic7225]

Your arrangement is magic, your playing of the interments is near perfect, aggressive, tight, and utterly on point. I absolutely love this. I just so wish youtube's compression didn't murder the audio into a kind of fuzz that causes the sounds to bleed together in a bit of a "Wall of noise" effect. Spotify was at least a little better. I wish there was a way to buy FLAC or other lossless formats directly. I would rather you get 100% than let a shitty business like patrion take their cut.

[@DiktatrSquid]

This is one of my favourite tracks in the entire game. So glad that it got Skar treatment. I'm legit tearing up :')

[@okllo]

insane!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kasaaz]

I love the drums in this so much... Especially that opening section.

[@sephirostoy]

Awesome! Please, more from FF14.

[@SkarProductions]

Will do!

[@LeyoRaw]

Garuda's Theme

[@Dezperandum]

He's going to make an entire EP for it, so stay tuned

[@grim_a7680]

Perhaps some of that EW First Trial battle music.. that one just hits home.

[@Dragoon960]

Awesome cover- and nice Snakebyte. I went with the white too 🤘

[@SkarProductions]

Having a black snakebyte is blasphemy let’s be real

[@MartinB_Art_Design]

That right arm is just ALL INK, Daaaaaaamn

[@jessebrophy9679]

Give no quarter! We make our stand RIGHT here! RIGHT! NOW!

[@DangernielLP]

Found this cover just today. Listening on loop back then. This song gave me chills the very first time I heard it in a dungeon and I really thought it couldn't get any better. First Husky, now you. Absolute God-tier. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@SorrenRaclaw]

This is awesome! I'm finishing the main story questline tonight and I'm SO using this to get the blood pumping and psyche myself up for these last few bossfights!

[@zurielsama]

Amazing stuff!! It would be so incredible having this play for 1 dungeon boss (who matches the aesthetic), would probably be the best dungeon boss in the entire game!!!

[@nydalilia1049]

Epic Metal I love how it turned ... I can't wait to see what you'll come up with, regarding all the FFXIV songs you're planning to cover!!

[@Theodax1]

As instrumentals go.... this one absolutely KILLS all the way through! The crunchy chunky nasty guitar riffage is INSANE on this monster. OH, that poor bass, you're strumming that thing like you're about to rip its strings off and ask it 'who's your daddy, bitch?' Simply your BEST instrumental cover yet. I could EASILY hear this in lots of other epic gaming or even incidental movie settings. Fantastic stuff as usual.

[@SkarProductions]

Reading that line about the bass made me laugh out loud dude xD Thanks!

[@horhern3427]

I've always liked this one better than the dungeon main boss theme.

[@villaniousmustache4898]

The whole 4 minutes was a sight to behold! I can tell you guys have a passion for this stuff and its awe inspiring

[@sashavonb2570]

The ingame themse is awesome already but jeez, you took it to another level ! Awesome work !

[@NaitomeIya]

Extreme banger of a song made even more of an extreme banger, all the while preserving or improving on what makes it so gods damned good of course. ON BLADE’S EDGE!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Definitely the most memorable track in the EW OST what with that certain instanced duty. I’m so salty I can’t get the orchestrion roll from the treasure dungeons that I bought the blu ray soundtrack.

[@Galadriel-39]

I play Final Fantasy 14, I love the soundtrack, and your covers are awesome !! thank you

[@bloodhound627]

An absolute headbanger. What else could possibly be said? Phenomenal work!

[@yoda0017]
